Only I Have the Law: A Fantasy Daily Life

Chapter 63 Cultivating Immortality: A Lifelong Obsession for the Chinese

While eating and drinking soup in large gulps.

Chen Baiyu's thoughts were still on the game he had just played, but not on whether there were any shortcomings in the process.

Instead, he started thinking about how to begin his next money-making career.

After possessing this extraordinary power.

Making money is no longer a difficult task for him.

Earning a small fortune without revealing one's extraordinary abilities is by no means difficult.

In addition, the system has released a long-term money-making task called "The Anchor of Wealth". Earning money can not only enrich your life, but you can also receive extraordinary rewards from the system at the corresponding stage.

So why not go and make money?

Even if it's not considered a main quest that you absolutely have to do, you can treat it as a side quest that you occasionally do.

the most important is.

Now he is qualified to balance his hobbies with making money.

You can do mukbang (eating broadcasts) and play games in your spare time, so you can eat and play happily.

The show's entertainment value is also quite high, since he can really go all out with his mukbang, and he's a force to be reckoned with when playing games.

Then, occasionally, you can even participate in some competitive sports to prove your strength, and sometimes do a fitness live stream to show off your muscles and give away freebies.

They could even use their quick thinking to continue creating online literature, producing several masterpieces that might only be of average or above-average quality, but with an absolutely inhumanly high update frequency.

He pondered this.

Chen Baiyu basically set a simple tone for her life going forward.

In his spare time while doing tasks, he would do various live streams without revealing too much of his extraordinary abilities, or participate in some small regional competitions to earn a little money, until he completed "The Casting of the Anchor of Wealth".

Overall, I want to make money, but I'm not in a rush.

Yes, it's normal to earn money to improve your life and the lives of your family and friends after gaining superpowers, but you don't need to have money on your mind all the time.

If you really want to make money quickly.

In fact, he could simply rely on his keen senses and enhanced brain to go to places like Las Vegas and gamble big.

They could also manipulate the outcome of any human-driven competitive sport in the world, thereby reaping huge profits.

For example, in football, he could use the lingering power of the Lost Monkey King to cause a specific player to make a crucial mistake, or even intimidate a star player at a critical moment in their run, potentially causing them to fall heavily and ruin their career.

Not to mention competitive sports like swimming, track and field, and cycling. After being hit by Chen Baiyu's "Lost Monkey King" skill, losing the game might be the easiest outcome; the worst-case scenario is that the person could be killed.

However, he is not short of money at the moment.

I don't want to do something so public, something that could potentially attract the attention of local minorities and major national powers.

Occasionally doing live streaming and writing novels—professions that are done through screens and the internet, and that easily make people feel that everything is for show and scripts—and that are generally not involved with extremely exaggerated large interest groups such as energy, gambling, arms, and medicine, is relatively more suitable for him.

Chen Baiyu felt that the most important thing was to develop steadily, and that the right path was to occasionally make money while taking the time to carefully study and upgrade his extraordinary power.

Striving towards the true power and freedom of immortals is the most essential pursuit in life, and the lifelong obsession of countless Chinese people.

Chen Baiyu put down her chopsticks, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the rim of her cup, her gaze drifting through the window to the distant horizon. There, wisps of clouds drifted slowly by, much like the scene of "immortals riding on clouds" described in ancient books.

He recalled stories he had heard as a child: Lü Dongbin teasing Bai Mudan three times, Tieguai Li turning stones into gold, and the Guanghan Palace that Chang'e flew over when she flew to the moon... At that time, he only thought they were myths, but now that he holds extraordinary power, he suddenly understands that the "obsession with immortals" engraved in the bones of Chinese people has never been an empty fantasy, but rather an extreme desire to "break free from constraints".

They yearn for immortality because they don't want to be trapped by birth, aging, sickness, and death; they dream of soaring through the clouds because they don't want to be blocked by mountains and rivers; and they respect the chivalrous heroes who slay demons and eliminate evil because they don't want to be oppressed by powerful forces.

Just like himself right now, his triple physique has freed him from the frailty of ordinary people and given him the confidence to face injustice, but that's not enough.

He wanted to try to see if he could withstand swords and spears if he could be stronger; if he could see through people's hearts if he could be sharper; and if he could improve his skills so that he could really, like in the legends, part the sea and shatter mountains with a single thought.

It's not about being domineering and tyrannical, but about achieving that "great freedom"!
No longer do you have to worry about being powerless to fight back when you are bullied, no longer do you have to compromise when you are threatened, and no longer do you have to be bound by worldly rules.

Being able to protect the people you care about, being able to do what you want to do, and being able to truly take control of your own life.

Just like the immortals described in the book, they were not born high and mighty, but broke through their shackles step by step, and eventually lived a life of clarity and freedom.

Chen Baiyu looked down at his hands, then at the system panel that no one else could see.

This is his "destiny with immortals," the starting point for his path to "great freedom."

My resolve has only grown stronger at this moment.

Making money is a side quest, stable development is a process, but taking steps towards becoming an "immortal" is his true main quest.

This is a deep-seated conviction ingrained in the blood of the Chinese people.

He was lost in thought.

A few whispers reached my ears. It wasn't Aunt Zhang and Jiang Haochen talking at the table next to me, but rather people talking in the stairwell outside the main entrance.

Aunt Zhang and Jiang Haochen couldn't hear clearly.

However, he could hear it quite clearly.

"This one and Chen Baiyu's next door are probably the last ones, right? We should have finished questioning all the guys in the neighborhood who have grudges against Guo Feiyang. It feels like we haven't gotten anything out of it yet."

"Well, we haven't been able to find out much from their tests. If we confirm they all have alibis when we get back, then we should focus on investigating that bald, muscular man."

These words made Chen Baiyu, who was eating and lost in thought, freeze for a moment, but then her expression returned to calm as if she hadn't heard anything at all.

Not long after, a knock came at the door.

Chen Baiyu looked towards the doorway.

The other two people who were eating were taken aback. Aunt Zhang glanced at Jiang Haochen, and he got up from the table to open the door.

As soon as Jiang Haochen opened the door, he saw two unfamiliar people, a man and a woman, dressed in casual clothes.

Chen Baiyu, sitting at the dining table, glanced up.

He immediately recognized the two familiar figures as the veteran detective and forensic doctor he had seen outside Building 1 that morning. The veteran detective was dressed in plainclothes, holding a notebook, while the forensic doctor stood beside him, looking calm.

"Hello, we are the police."

"My name is Zhou Jianjun, and her name is Li Jingyi. We hope you can cooperate with our work."

The veteran detective showed his police ID, his gaze flickered slightly as he looked at Chen Baiyu, before calmly turning his attention back to Zhang Yiyu, the room's occupant.

"Officer?"

Hearing the noise, Aunt Zhang put down her chopsticks and went over, looking somewhat puzzled.
